Felicia was a loving and selfless chicken. Her father had just died and now it was the mother who was seriously ill. How sad!
Without hesitating for a moment, our heroine temporarily left her studies, which she was doing very well, so that she could work. She needed to earn a lot of money to be able to cure her mother.
She didn't mind working long hours a day. What mattered to her was being able to return home after a day's work and being able to take care of her mother. She washed clothes, cleaned the house, prepared dinner, always smiling and without complaints. On the contrary, she felt proud to be able to help her mother. That's why everyone admired her.
